Jorie Loves A Story, is a blog that was inspired into creation due to a reader's love and passion for the written word. She reads bookish industry newsfeeds, keeps a pertinent eye on newly published authors, is readily eager to book travel to independent book shoppes, athenaeum libraries, historical landmarks of literary interest, and book festivals, conventions, or symposiums; absorbs herself into the written word, cherishing each book she comes across that has the ability to transport herself into another time, place, and world. This is her journey, as she uncovers one book at a time that leaves her musefully happy for the discovery.

Beautiful Pale [Poem] by Angela Lucius

Posted Thursday, 6 February, 2014 by jorielov Angela Lucius, Beautiful Pale, Twizted Twigs (blog) 1 Comment

Ms. Lucius, the pleasure was all mine last night! I had the best time listening to your writing life unfold on the Chamber! The best part too, is the interactive aspect of last night’s show! I truly felt like I had transported myself into the Star Chamber! Such a special surprise tonight seeing a poem dedicated to me! And, one that left me in smiles as I read the words! How you creatively rhymed the passages and showed the dedication of endless love in a theme such as this is truly remarkable! I couldn’t wait to share this wicked sweet poem with my readers! (& my Mum!) I am thankful that our paths have crossed, and through our blogs & email I look forward to continuing our friendship! My gratitude is yours for the dedication!

UPDATE: June 2016

I am unsure why the re-post app has failed to keep this fully intact from how it was reflected in [2014] however, it might have been an issue due to various tech issues I’ve sustained since I self-hosted my blog and/or it’s a fluke. Therefore, kindly visit the author’s website to read the post in it’s full glory!

About jorielov

I am self-educated through local libraries and alternative education opportunities. I am a writer by trade and I cured a ten-year writer’s block by the discovery of Nanowrimo in November 2008. The event changed my life by re-establishing my muse and solidifying my path. Five years later whilst exploring the bookish blogosphere I decided to become a book blogger. I am a champion of wordsmiths who evoke a visceral experience in narrative. I write comprehensive book showcases electing to get into the heart of my reading observations. I dance through genres seeking literary enlightenment and enchantment. Starting in Autumn 2013 I became a blog book tour hostess featuring books and authors. I joined The Classics Club in January 2014 to seek out appreciators of the timeless works of literature whose breadth of scope and voice resonate with us all.
